...maybe actually be a part of the story because she's one of the main characters and is supposed to be kinda important now that she has the new power after being revived...?

duh, you realize these latest chapters were for character development mostly for masataka and aya, which are the two important characters who still needed development before the final fight? there was no need to develop maya's character more than that, hence why she has little screen time

What leads you to believe this? If Nagi and the ones he brought back dies, that means big characters like Mitsoumi and Bunchinci or however you spell his name dies. Seeing as Mitsoumi has pretty much turned a new leaf, I find that unlikely.

Mitsuomi wasn't revived by Nagi

i don't think Bunshichi was either...but even if he were, it wouldn't make nagi's death less likely...

What chapter is this exactly? I recall her saying something about supporting Nagi, but I don't remember her saying anything about actually helping in any fight. Also, it looks to be a redo of Shin vs Mitsoumi, which was a 1on1, so it's very possible that she does not do anything but just stand there.

Can't remember the exact chapter, it was something along the lines of "i'll become the strength for someone else", or something like that, and the subject of her thoughts was the approaching fight between nagi and masataka...

and no, this won't be a redo of shin vs mitsuomi, the whole point is to change the predetermined fate

and besides, nagi's got more than 3000 powers, he can blow up the whole city in one attack...how is masataka supposed to fight him without maya's help?

Duh, obviously I knew those chapters were about Masataka and Aya, which was the point I was making. Everyone else who was significant to the story had some screen time, and contributed something of value except Maya. Even Bob and Madoka did when they're less important characters. Maya is pretty important in the manga, and I can get why she wasn't in much in the previous chapters since she was a vegetable, but now she's awake and hasn't done anything after leading up to this fight.

Yeah, I remember now that it was Masataka who beat the ghost of Shin out of Mitsoumi.

You haven't given any reason as to why you disagree.

Yeah, and iirc Maya said that to Nagi after his mom sacrificed herself to revive her.

How is it not? Nagi told him to defeat him as Shin told Mitsoumi to do the same. Masataka is going to try to do what Mitsoumi could not. I believe even Mitsoumi said so when he was in the hospital after the fight between him and Masataka.

3,000+ powers, but only 70 pages and likely with a little bit more than half of it being the fight while the rest of it story. I think it's ok to assume he won't be using everything in his arsenal. It'll still be powerful as hell, but there's not even a guarantee that he'll be using a ridiculous amount of his powers. He didn't do much when he started beating the crap out of Mitsoumi. Didn't even use any powers again him iirc either.

Maya didn't need development coming into the final fight, that's why her screen time is so little...

You haven't given any reason as to why you disagree.

as i said, it's because the people nagi revived didn't look one bit happy about it. Their deaths won't make it any less likely for nagi to die...

Yeah, and iirc Maya said that to Nagi after his mom sacrificed herself to revive her.

and again in chapter 132 i think, while thinking about masataka's growth and the coming fight against god nagi...

How is it not? Nagi told him to defeat him as Shin told Mitsoumi to do the same. Masataka is going to try to do what Mitsoumi could not. I believe even Mitsoumi said so when he was in the hospital after the fight between him and Masataka.

but in the end, the whole point of this fight was to change the predetermined, unchangeable fate

@ spoilers:
& who gets a girl especially Maya? Are they ended up alone & walked on their own separate ways? (well, except for Bob get hitched).. I am hoping for not an open ending like Eyeshield 21 or Dragon Ball..

Well, I think my quotation did mentioned about "the last few chapters since her (Maya's) revival", so, this debate supposed to be revolved around the "Nagi vs Souhaku" till recent chapters. Since I saw none of the story development did showed any of her fighting scenes, so, I regard her as being a bit useless.

dunno, after the first volumes of introduction(basically, until the flashback arc began), the story never changed direction or purpose, and personally, i found it pretty easy to follow...

i think not only was the story pretty good and interesting, but OG did a great job in story-writing, it manages to put the readers in the character's shoes, and perfectly expresses the whole fatalism and fighting against a pre-determined fate concepts that permeates the story

for those who want spoilers(highlight it if you want to read):

masa wins but loses an arm, nagi lives, aya rejects masa, but nagi also can't really like aya....-and i'm not sure about this, but it seems maya dies...
